What I need is something that represents standing strong for whats right, protecting others when you can they same way you accept protection when you need. Something that means gaurdian maybe. It is for my inner thigh right to the side and above about two inches of my knee the entire lengh of my thigh. So I need something the is longer than it is wide.

I think the Djed would be great, if I have my info right, it means strength and stability(which I would look at on my body and be reminded that all life is connected, stay strong for whats true, stand stable, do not falter when is comes to doing what is right), and also represents the tree of life?

Is this correct, do you have any other suggestions? It does not need to be based on Egyptian signs.

What I am doing is scarification.
I have my work for my children and that love, celtic knot heart. I have my work for pride in myself, my journey, for me blossoming flowers and vines. I have my work for my faith, solid circle. I have my work for drawing positive energy and pushing away negative energy, so that works as protection, clockwise and counterclockwise spirals.

And also wings, represents freedom, accend above daily earthly demands and freeing you to be able to concentrate on your spirit and morals and ethics. Am I right? If I am does it matter where the wings are placed on your body?

Take Care
